Police in Buckfastleigh are looking for a man after one of the town's resident ducks was injured by an arrow.

George, a male adult muscovy duck, was found on the banks of the river Dart with a two-feet long arrow sticking out of his body.

Police have launched an investigation and are appealing for witnesses.

The description we have is of a white male, in his early twenties, of slim build with collar length light brown hair and wearing a black hoody and jeans.
We would like to speak to the man or to anyone who has any information about this.
